    Are they Vectra calipers or Fiat Calipers?

    They are the big vectra V6 calipers though? I only ask because I'm about to have some V6 discs re-drilled and I'd rather go buy the fiat items if they are compatible

    Cheers!

    Just to clarify, is there need for a larger master cylinder, say off a GTE/GSI?

    All nova master cylinders are the same size.
    GTE/GSi have a bigger Servo, but its NOT needed.
    If you have one though, fit it.
